The clan's dissatisfaction has been brewing for a long time. It's still the same sentence. When Li Shimin was here, he wanted to save face, even if he was upset, but he could kill his son, but he couldn't kill his brother. After all, the matter of Xuanwumen has always been his responsibility. Therefore, even if there is something wrong with the clan, Li Shimin can only handle it lightly.But when it comes to Li Zhi, Li Zhi doesn't have any moral burdens. How much face can he care about for a person who can marry his father's waste product as a queen?Therefore, Li Zhi took a very close look at the clan. Although he would not be easily offended, the life of the clan was becoming more difficult than before.
Li Zhi at least has to look at the fact that the clan is the blood of the whole family. When it comes to Empress Wu, she has no relationship with those clans. Moreover, the existence of the clan is not good for Empress Wu. She can't wait for the Li clan It's unlucky, it's hard to lose a group of people who will firmly oppose him.The clan is not a fool, some people rebelled to go further, and some just wanted to protect themselves.
The orthodox idea of the Li family is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, after the clan raised troops, there were really a gathering of followers. They also colluded with many aristocratic families and promised to do what they would do if they were superior. I hope to go back to Emperor Taizong's time. Many people even think that Li Zhiwu and his wife are not as good as Emperor Sui Yang when they are in power!Although Yang Guang shouted and shouted all day long, he was impatient and often took it for granted. Instead, he asked the aristocratic family to transfer the blow Yang Guang gave them to the people, and in turn he became stronger.As for Li Zhi and Empress Wu, they didn't seem to have made any big moves, but they hit the key points in every move, making the aristocratic family feel comfortable now, and it almost became a task to restore their former glory. impossible things.
At the beginning, Princess Xincheng hoped that those clans would be successful, but she soon realized that although these clans had not been raised and abolished, the power they could mobilize was simply too small compared to the imperial court. The most important thing is that even if this is the case, they don't agree with each other. After all, everyone is born as a bastard, so who is nobler than the other?What's more, their cavalry is not for Li Zhi's lineage to continue to control the government, and there are obvious differences among the clan. Li Yuan's son is obviously unwilling to let Li Shimin's son take advantage of it. Nian was terrified by the methods of Empress Wu and Li Zhi. They really didn't dare to get involved in these things, but after being coerced into joining them, they naturally didn't want to be puppets and make wedding dresses for others.
There are so many contradictions like this, if they can succeed, then it will be called hell!
Empress Wu also boldly recruited newcomers. Now she can't trust those generals before. After all, they were all promoted during Li Zhi and even Li Shimin's period. Naturally, they are more loyal to Li Tang. Therefore, Empress Wu prefers to promote some from poor families, even They are generals from the barbarians, and these people naturally know that if they want to keep asking the older generation to stand in front, it will be extremely difficult.There is no way, it is impossible for Datang to launch another foreign war for at least ten years. Datang needs enough time to cultivate and recuperate, digest Andong, Anxi and the large tracts of land on the grassland, and even the plateau needs a steady stream of land. Under such circumstances, if you want to gain military exploits, you can only hope to counter the rebellion. If Li Dan successfully controls the government, then many people who intend to make trouble can only calm down. For these generals, there is no doubt that there is a missing road to success.
Although speaking like this, it seems that those people are selfish and a bit despicable, but the fact is that a considerable part of the interests are consistent with Empress Wu. Even if they have received the favor of the Li family, they will also argue that the queen mother is the Li family. Wife, even if the Empress Dowager is in power for a while, but her biological son is still surnamed Li, even if the surname is changed for a while, she still has to recognize her ancestors and return to her clan in the future. Under such circumstances, many people stand on the side of Empress Wu with peace of mind. , I have to persuade those who stand on the side of Li Tang Zhengtong to be patient for the time being. After all, the Queen Mother is in her early sixties. You can also support a new king, wouldn't everyone be happy when the time comes?
Princess Xincheng didn't think so far for the time being, she just realized the ending of these clans' rebellion, nothing more than failure and being killed. Princess Xincheng originally wanted to encourage Li Yue to raise troops to go north, but after seeing the situation where everyone in Minyue is focused on fighting to get rich , Princess Xincheng swallowed her words again.Minyue really wants to talk about it, they recognize Li Yue, they may not have much recognition for Li Tang, before Li Yue came, the life of Minyue people is not like the life of people now, they Naturally, he couldn't feel any favor from the imperial court, who would think of serving the imperial court.As for Li Yue, he showed early on that he was unwilling to get involved in the government affairs, which made Princess Xincheng inevitably have a suspicion.
"Did you expect this a long time ago?" Princess Xincheng thought of the prophecy back then, and looked at Li Yue inquiringly.
It is said that Taishi ordered Li Chunfeng to make a divination for the fate of the Tang Dynasty, and finally came to the conclusion that "the third generation of the emperor, Li Xing of the Wu Dynasty". At that time, who would have thought that this was actually a literal meaning?Therefore, after Li Shimin interpreted it at that time, after knowing that Li Junxian, the general around him, used to have the nickname "Five Lady", he killed Li Junxian without saying a word.These days, prophecies are still very popular, just like when Yang Guang had a so-called prophecy of "Yang flowers fall, plum flowers bloom, peaches and plums, there is the world", Yang Guang was very murderous because of this After some killings, even Li Hun, the Duke of Ye, was also killed, frightening Li Yuan half to death, pretending to be stupid, and then escaped from Yang Guang's butcher knife.But in the end, it was Li Yuan who won the world, and this prophecy was naturally fulfilled.For this reason, Li Shimin was also very concerned about this kind of thing, but at that time no one thought that this Wu was actually a woman.
And now, this prophecy has started to spread around the world again. It is obvious that Empress Wu is ordering people to create momentum. The news from Minyue has always been well-informed. Princess Xincheng has also heard it, but thinking of what Li Yue has done for so many years, Princess Xincheng inevitably had some guesses. She immediately suspected that Li Yue had a premonition, so she refused to get involved in the change of imperial power.
Seeing Princess Xincheng's expression, Li Yue was dumbfounded. He couldn't say that I was time-traveling. If I had known that Empress Wu would be the queen in the future, it would be no wonder that Princess Xincheng didn't suspect that she was insane!Therefore, Li Yue just said helplessly: "Who would have known that the current situation would turn out like this. At the beginning, I thought Li Hong would be crowned as a certainty!"
Princess Xincheng was dubious, but her heart became more and more anxious.
Li Yue persuaded: "Sister, when the sky falls, there will naturally be a tall person to support it. Don't worry for now, the days to come will be long!"
Princess Xincheng really wanted to get angry, but seeing Li Yue's concerned expression, her anger was extinguished again, so she could only say irritably: "How can I feel at ease now? I'm still tall, and I'm Datang Eldest princess, she is tall no matter what, but who else can help me block it?" Speaking of this, she couldn't help but miss Li Zhi, anyway, Princess Xincheng has been able to live such a nourishing life all these years Naturally, Li Zhi's connivance is indispensable, but thinking about it again, it is Li Zhi's connivance that Empress Wu can have today. Thinking about it this way, Princess Xincheng naturally becomes more and more worried.
Li Yue made sure that Lord Xincheng would not run away suddenly, so she let Princess Xincheng rest at ease, and went back exhausted physically and mentally.
Yang Yao is also baffled by all kinds of things happening in the Central Plains these days. Who would have thought that so many things would happen not long after the late Emperor passed away?Seeing that Empress Wu was about to become a queen, Yang Yao was in a very complicated mood. She could almost predict what might happen to the court and the public after Empress Wu ascended the throne.Among other things, such things as being soft-hearted and soft-hearted have absolutely nothing to do with Empress Wu. In order to consolidate her position, Empress Wu must have caused a lot of blood and blood in the first few years of her reign. In this way, Minyue can definitely be regarded as a paradise.
Yang Yao quickly ignored the chaos in the Central Plains, and suddenly became complacent: "Fifteen Lang, now this is our chance!" This kind of thing, even if no one in the family joins the army, will be greatly affected.Among other things, a considerable part of Datang's military rations are now purchased from Minyue. Now that there is a fight, Minyue naturally cannot sell military rations to those rebels. In order to maintain a certain combat effectiveness, They have to make food among the people.There is a saying that thieves pass like a comb, and soldiers pass like a grate. In many cases, the officers and soldiers are more unscrupulous than the thieves.In addition to requisitioning food, people must also be recruited to build fortifications and transport luggage.After the war, these people might have to be charged with a crime of thieves. After that, they will naturally be deprived of their property, and there will be various punishments.Therefore, in the face of war, what many people can do is actually one word: escape!
Under such circumstances, Minyue can take the opportunity to attract immigrants and increase external development efforts.Thinking about it this way, Yang Yao is actually the same as those generals who are eager to make meritorious service, hoping that the war will last for a while longer!
Li Yue nodded, and don't blame them for fearing that the world will not be chaotic. In fact, they have no other way. It is impossible for them to pull Minyue to join this rank. Minyue is really short of people. It cannot be wasted in this senseless war.As for who is proclaiming the emperor over there, and what does it have to do with them? According to the original agreement, it is only five years since they withdrew from Minyue and officially moved to Ryukyu. After that, what happens in the Central Plains has nothing to do with them Woolen cloth?However, in the future, when the emperor of the Tang Dynasty has no way and the world is in chaos, Li Yue's descendants can use the name of saving Tianqing to continue the Tang Dynasty or establish a new dynasty, there will be no problem!But now, people in the whole world are determined, don't look at those families who are secretly supporting those clans now, but if they really let them start a war of that level like the end of the Sui Dynasty, they are unwilling to do it. After all, everyone is more serious now. Most of the interests are with Anton and Anxi. If the war becomes serious, the imperial court will definitely dispatch Anton and Anxi's army. At that time, how can their interests there be guaranteed?
Therefore, for Minyue, the only thing they can do now is to take this opportunity to absorb more people. As for other things, Minyue can completely stay out of it.
As for Princess Xincheng, she can only be furious in her heart now. She naturally hopes that Datang is still in the hands of Li Zhi's lineage, but if Empress Wu really usurps Datang and kills Li Zhi The family clan, in turn, pushed the Wu family to the top, the princess of Xincheng would rather be the brothers or even uncles from the clan to set things right.
Princess Xincheng wants to weigh the pros and cons, but the current battle situation is actually very unfavorable to those clans. Defeat is a matter of time, and Li Yue made it clear that she doesn't want to get involved. Charisma, but if she really jumped out, Princess Xincheng thought about it for a week, but found that she didn't have any suitable allies at all, so she could only die.
In fact, there are other princesses who have the same thoughts as Princess Xincheng. After all, they are also the blood of the Li family. Although they are married, they are still the clan in terms of etiquette. Even if their children have foreign surnames, they are at least within one or two generations , What mistakes have been made, and it is the clan's laws that can deal with them, not the laws of the country.If Empress Wu became an issue, their position as a princess would be worthless.
Unfortunately, what can these princesses do?They have no soldiers and no power in their hands, so they can't bring a bunch of servants to start a riot!For example, Princess Gaoyang is hesitating now. According to her heart, she naturally wants to defend the Li family's country, but Fang Yiai doesn't really have this idea. She is always a courtier, doing things for the Li family and for the Wu family. In fact, there is not much difference, it just depends on who gives enough benefits!In fact, Fang Yiai actually had some gloating thoughts in his heart. After all, he was indeed sitting on the bench for quite a while back then. His father was so kind to him back then. After his father passed away, Fang's family began to be neglected. It caused the brothers of the Fang family to come up with the idea of "you need to face forward, you don't need to face backward".Of course, at this time, they will not consider how far their own abilities are from their own father.
In addition, what happened to Li Jingye also left Fang Yiai with lingering fears. After all, everyone with a discerning eye knows the contribution Li Ji made to Datang. In the end, when it was Li Jingye's turn, he really didn't receive much attention. One of the reasons for the rebellion was that he felt that he was underappreciated and had little hope.The situation after these meritorious deeds in the Tang Dynasty is actually the same. When they were knighted back then, they all said that the hero and the hero must retire with the country. In fact, starting from the Sui Dynasty, the title is not so valuable, let alone it. Foreign ministers, even if it is the clan, the titles are not many real titles. After the meritorious service, although I will not be a bastard, but these second generations are really few in terms of official career. Many people The pinnacle of the state is the governor of one place, which sounds good, but in fact, the governor has so much real power. After all, in times of peace and prosperity, it is impossible for the governor to truly monopolize the power of a state.After all, Cheng Chuliang did well because he had the opportunity to go to the battlefield with Cheng Zhijie, and he was honored by Princess Shang, and he was able to posthumously become a county king after his death.
Under such circumstances, Fang Yiai really didn't intend to touch stones for the old Li's family, and, with the failure of those clansmen, Fang Yiai couldn't see the hope of victory either.
"Xue Yi was killed!" Princess Gao Yang sat down without manners, with an irritable expression, "That's the eldest son of sister Cheng Yang! Not only that, Xue Xu and Xue Shao were also implicated!"
"Xue Shao is Taiping's son-in-law!" Fang Yiai couldn't sit still immediately, "Does the Queen Mother not consider Taiping's feelings at all?"
Gao Yang snorted softly, and said: "Actually, I heard that the Empress Dowager did not agree to this marriage at the beginning. It was the first emperor who bestowed the marriage on the sake of Sister Chengyang's face! Now the Empress Dowager just seized the opportunity!"
"Then what should we do?" Fang Yiai frowned and said.
Princess Gao Yang bit her lip, almost biting her lower lip to bleed. After thinking about it, she finally became depressed: "What else can we do? Let's just have a child! He is not very promising, I just hope that he can live in peace for the rest of his life!"
Many times, after bowing your head once, it is not so difficult to accept it again.Princess Gao Yang was so proud back then. Even if she was a princess from the first line, she might not have taken it seriously. However, she bowed her head once for the lives of her family. At that time, she could comfort herself by saying that Li Zhi was the emperor after all. Now, for the sake of her son's future, she can only bow her head to Wu Hou!Although she was extremely unwilling in her heart, Princess Gao Yang could only admit it.She is already in her 60s. Because Li Nu was born late and Princess Gao Yang was picky about her marriage, she only got married a few years ago. Now she just had a granddaughter, and her daughter-in-law was pregnant again some time ago. Under such circumstances, how could Princess Gaoyang be willing to die like this with all her family members?
Undoubtedly, Empress Wu succeeded, and she declared her determination with the life of Xue Yi and even the life of her son-in-law.Don't say that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at her, the more pleasing she is, and she dares to stand in front of her, let alone her son-in-law, she doesn't even let her own son go!
Princess Taiping encountered the biggest setback in her life. She was used to going smoothly since she was a child. As the youngest daughter of the family, both Li Zhi and Empress Wu loved her very much. After marriage, Xue Shao had a very deep relationship with her. They had two sons and a daughter in just a few years. As a result, when disaster struck, before Princess Taiping could react, Qianniuwei took Xue Shao away. thrown into prison.
Princess Taiping is still pregnant with her fourth child. She went to look for Empress Wu overnight. As a result, Empress Wu's attitude was very firm. Under house arrest in the inner palace, Empress Wu even threatened Princess Taiping with the lives of several grandchildren. She succumbed. After all, as a mother, even if she cared about her husband, she couldn't ignore her children at all. love brain!
What happened to Princess Taiping also made Li Dan even more terrified. Compared with the love Princess Taiping received, Li Dan's growth process is a small and transparent growth history. Even the jewel in his palm ended up like this, let alone himself?In particular, people from the Wu family have been jumping up and down recently, concocting all kinds of auspicious omens, saying that it is destiny for Empress Wu to ascend to the top.Li Dan didn't feel the greatness of the imperial power at all, and he was facing the threat of his life. Therefore, he could only express his abdication voluntarily in awe. The dangling fear made Li Dan almost sleepless at night.
Empress Wu's repeated actions made everyone aware of her determination and will. Compared with the clan that is still hesitating, many ministers have honestly surrendered. They are all part-time workers. They are still in the original company. It's just a boss, even, this boss was in charge before, it's nothing more than a bad name.There are also many people who are also thinking about whether they can get along with the dragon. Therefore, people's hearts are becoming more and more floating in the court, and those advocating words are also spreading like wildfire among the people.
The people on the Minyue side are not sensitive to the affairs of Chang'an and Luoyang, which is too far away from them. Besides, because of the war, the prices of various commodities have risen a lot, and the businessmen on the Minyue side have more They will make a lot of money, so they are all busy to speed up production now, so as to take advantage of this opportunity to make more money.The government on the Minyue side is also very busy. Many people dragged their families to the Minyue side because they were afraid of war. For example, Jiangnan and Qilu, which were more severely damaged, some people wanted to go directly. Pick up the merchant ships of Minyue.
Minyue’s side also never refuses visitors, so they simply dispatched a special boat to publicize Minyue’s immigration policy at the intersection and the wharf. Various discounts have attracted the hearts of many big households, let alone those who have no property. up.When they actually boarded Minyue's boat, they realized that everything was even better than they had imagined.
They were able to wash their bodies briefly on the boat and put on new clothes. The boat provided sufficient food, so rich in oil and water that some people who hadn't eaten meat for a long time even had a stomachache.After arriving at the place, they observed at the immigration management office for a period of ten days, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with their health. They registered their names and places of origin. If they had studied or had some crafts, they could get further preferential treatment, even if they could only work hard. They can also get land grants after leaving the immigration management office, and then the government can borrow seeds, farm tools, livestock and the like, and they can use grain to pay off the debt during the autumn harvest. According to the previous immigrants, within one or two years, they can not only pay back To pay off the loans owed to the government, you can still have enough reserves.If they are willing to participate in simple military training during the slack season, they can also get an extra subsidy, which also attracts those immigrants who are used to poverty and are frightened of hunger.
In short, the immigration work in Minyue went very smoothly, and after Li Yue communicated with Empress Wu, the captured rebels were also sold to Li Yue at a reasonable price. Population buying and selling.Li Yue doesn't care about this little money, but Empress Wu, she hopes to make some big moves to prove that her destiny belongs to her. Those true and false rumors and concocted auspiciousness are far from enough. Come up with a few wonders.In addition, the imperial court also needs to spend money to suppress the rebellion!These days, I see all the way forward, and the rebellions everywhere are extinguished. In fact, the money is spent every day, even if the foundation left by the previous few years is very solid, it can’t be spent like this!Therefore, if there is extra income, Empress Wu will definitely not let it go!She is not the kind who is ignorant of the sufferings of the world. After so many years of experience, she has told Empress Wu that money is indispensable no matter whether it is running a family or a country!If she had no money, how could she have the money to reward those arrogant soldiers and make them submit to her as a woman?
Therefore, Li Yue and Empress Wu are also happy to cooperate. In order to feed so many immigrants, Minyue's side just stimulates domestic demand and makes the economy more prosperous. Compared with the raging wars outside, Minyue's side seems to be It's like heaven on earth.
Just when Li Yue felt that the situation was going well, Mingzhu came back with someone, and there was another person on board that surprised him.
"Uncle Fifteen, my niece really has no choice but to come and ask Uncle Fifteen to take me in!" Princess Taiping looked haggard, she had really exhausted her courage in her life these days, so much so that she didn't dare to think about it. , After robbing her husband and running away with her children, what will the queen mother look like.
Mingzhu looked carefree: "What are you afraid of, who knew you were here, at worst, you and I will go to Yinyue Island!"
Li Yue could only hear it in a cloud, so he collected himself and said, "What's going on here, please tell me first!"
Mingzhu rolled her eyes, although Li Yue and Yang Yao have always loved her very much, but this time, she really played a big role, so she was really worried that she would be taught a lesson after speaking out. She looked to Princess Taiping for help.
Taiping said almost immediately: "I don't blame Mingzhu, I wrote to her to beg her, she is to help me!"
Li Yue glared at Mingzhu, then looked at Princess Taiping, and said gently: "Don't worry, we're all here with Uncle Fifteen, take your time! You have worked hard this journey, sit down and rest for a while! "Speaking, he ordered people to arrange it.
Their line of business does not look good. Princess Taiping's four children, except for the eldest son and eldest daughter who are already a little sensible, one is still a little doll of one or two years old, and the other is just born not long ago, and is still an only child. The little baby, for the sake of confidentiality and convenience, Princess Taiping didn’t even bring the maid and nanny with her. She fed the youngest child by herself during the journey, because her mental pressure was too great, and her breast milk was not enough, so she had to use The water is mixed with cheese and the like as a supplement.As for Xue Shao, he did not live well in prison. The environment in the prison was harsh, and Empress Wu did not intend to really let him go. Weak, but fortunately he has a firm mind, and has been working hard to restore his original state since he escaped from birth. Although he still looks a little thin now, because of this catastrophe, he looks rather gloomy, but he doesn't look weak powerless.
Seeing Li Yue's gentle attitude, one of Princess Taiping's tight strings relaxed a little. She held a bowl of chicken soup with the slick oil skimmed off, took two sips, and felt the warmth rising from her stomach. Only then did I tell Li Yue the cause and effect.
Princess Taiping was trapped in the Ziwei Palace before, and seeing her resigned to her fate, after all, Empress Wu loved her little daughter, so the guards on her were relaxed a bit. Princess Taiping found out that Xue Shao was only locked up in the In prison, she still had some hope in her heart, but she couldn't count on Empress Wu to release him, just like the princess of Xincheng back then, she was afraid that Empress Wu would directly order her to make peace, so she was naturally unwilling to do so.
In fact, she has been communicating with Mingzhu all these years, using carrier pigeons. Empress Wu does not want to completely cut off Taiping's contact with outsiders. I know that for women, love is not reliable, and what is reliable is real power.Therefore, when Mingzhu's carrier pigeon flew over, Empress Wu gave Mingzhu's letter to Taiping.
Taiping's heart moved, thinking about what she had agreed upon when she communicated with Mingzhu, she used rice soup to write a message for help in the letter, and then sent it out.
Taiping included the secret code agreed with Mingzhu in the letter, and Mingzhu naturally understood what Taiping meant. After reading Taiping's distress message written in rice soup, Mingzhu was impulsive, and she was afraid that after telling Li Yue, Li Yue would not allow her to make trouble. It turned out that he directly took the female soldiers under his hands, disguised as Minyue businessmen, and went northward by boat to Luoyang.
Of course, before departure, Mingzhu also wrote a secret letter to Princess Taiping. After all, unless Mingzhu revealed her identity, she would definitely not be able to enter Ziwei Palace to see Taiping. If she wanted to take Taiping away, what would happen to Taiping? All have to be done outside the palace.Taiping is also a smart person. After she gave birth to her little daughter in the palace, she said she would go back to her princess mansion for confinement. Seeing Princess Taiping's resignation, Empress Wu relaxed her vigilance, so she agreed down.Anyway, the maids around Princess Taiping will not hide it from her, so there is no need to worry about Princess Taiping's radical actions.
Although Mingzhu had never been to Princess Taiping's Princess Mansion, Princess Taiping had mentioned it, so Mingzhu easily sneaked someone into the Princess Mansion and got connected with Taiping. After the two discussed it, A decision is made.
After Princess Taiping gave birth, she said that she would take a few children to a temple outside the city to pray for blessings, and even brought her newborn daughter with her, saying that she asked the eminent monk in the temple to show her face and ask for an amulet , Light an ever-burning lamp for her.Naturally, there was nothing wrong with doing this, even without reporting to Empress Wu, the palace people around her couldn't stop her.
But Mingzhu sent those female soldiers under her command to rob the prison. In order to prevent others from seeing the strangeness, Mingzhu also made a lot of things.She managed to add some ingredients to the canteen on the other side of the prison. It was used by the aboriginals in Yizhou to hunt and kill large wild animals. Although it is not a poison that seals the throat when it sees blood, it has a certain hallucinogenic effect. The effect is definitely worse than Tiannan's poisonous mushrooms. If you don't pay attention to that thing, it will really kill you!Then after the effect of the medicine took effect, they mixed into the prison.The locks in this era are still relatively simple, and the same is true in prisons. The training of these female soldiers back then was based on a part of the special training methods developed by Li Yue. Therefore, each of them is really versatile. The clothes of the prison guards who were similar to Xue Shao were replaced by Xue Shao, and then they brought Xue Shao out. In order to prevent anyone from finding out that something was wrong, after they came out, they also caused some troubles nearby, and found a few local hooligans and others. Some shrews are messing around there, pestering them endlessly.
Since no one found out that Xue Shao was rescued, they naturally got out of the city very smoothly, and joined Princess Taiping and his party outside the city.
It was actually much easier to get Princess Taiping out of the temple. After all, with an identity like Princess Taiping, if she wanted to come to offer incense and pray for blessings, the venue would naturally have to be cleared. Afterwards, they had to be entertained for a vegetarian meal, but the servants ate it. In Su Zhai, Mingzhu poured a handful of sweating medicine directly, and then hid them. Mingzhu's people changed into the clothes of these palace people, and brought Princess Taiping and the others out of the temple blatantly. They all hid under the bed, and the dose of Mongolian sweat medicine was very large. When the monks in the temple found out that something was wrong, they and their party had already boarded the boat!
When Empress Wu heard the news, it was already the next day. At first, she thought it was Princess Taiping who was angry with her, but when she found out that Xue Shao had disappeared, another day passed, and Empress Wu found out the clues. , and also realized that it was probably people from Minyue who helped Taiping, which made Empress Wu a little hesitant. After all, she didn't want to turn against Li Yue, so she had to use the excuse that Princess Taiping was praying in a certain Taoist temple, and announced Xue Shao's death. The news of the death, ordered people to secretly search for the whereabouts of Princess Taiping, she has made up her mind this time, as long as she catches people, she will kill Xue Shao as soon as possible, completely cutting off Princess Taiping's hope!
In any case, the journey was relatively smooth, and there were no major setbacks. The main reason was that Empress Wu was too confident in herself. She never thought that Princess Taiping would have such courage. It was also because Empress Wu was caught off guard, and now Empress Wu's energy is actually still on suppressing the rebellion, so this matter was lightly let go, but after Empress Wu regained her senses, I'm afraid that blame will come.
Li Zhi at least has to look at the fact that the clan is the blood of the whole family. When it comes to Empress Wu, she has no relationship with those clans. Moreover, the existence of the clan is not good for Empress Wu. She can't wait for the Li clan It's unlucky, it's hard to lose a group of people who will firmly oppose him.The clan is not a fool, some people rebelled to go further, and some just wanted to protect themselves.
The orthodox idea of the Li family is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Therefore, after the clan raised troops, there were really a gathering of followers. They also colluded with many aristocratic families and promised to do what they would do if they were superior. I hope to go back to Emperor Taizong's time. Many people even think that Li Zhiwu and his wife are not as good as Emperor Sui Yang when they are in power!Although Yang Guang shouted and shouted all day long, he was impatient and often took it for granted. Instead, he asked the aristocratic family to transfer the blow Yang Guang gave them to the people, and in turn he became stronger.As for Li Zhi and Empress Wu, they didn't seem to have made any big moves, but they hit the key points in every move, making the aristocratic family feel comfortable now, and it almost became a task to restore their former glory. impossible things.
At the beginning, Princess Xincheng hoped that those clans would be successful, but she soon realized that although these clans had not been raised and abolished, the power they could mobilize was simply too small compared to the imperial court. The most important thing is that even if this is the case, they don't agree with each other. After all, everyone is born as a bastard, so who is nobler than the other?What's more, their cavalry is not for Li Zhi's lineage to continue to control the government, and there are obvious differences among the clan. Li Yuan's son is obviously unwilling to let Li Shimin's son take advantage of it. Nian was terrified by the methods of Empress Wu and Li Zhi. They really didn't dare to get involved in these things, but after being coerced into joining them, they naturally didn't want to be puppets and make wedding dresses for others.
There are so many contradictions like this, if they can succeed, then it will be called hell!
Empress Wu also boldly recruited newcomers. Now she can't trust those generals before. After all, they were all promoted during Li Zhi and even Li Shimin's period. Naturally, they are more loyal to Li Tang. Therefore, Empress Wu prefers to promote some from poor families, even They are generals from the barbarians, and these people naturally know that if they want to keep asking the older generation to stand in front, it will be extremely difficult.There is no way, it is impossible for Datang to launch another foreign war for at least ten years. Datang needs enough time to cultivate and recuperate, digest Andong, Anxi and the large tracts of land on the grassland, and even the plateau needs a steady stream of land. Under such circumstances, if you want to gain military exploits, you can only hope to counter the rebellion. If Li Dan successfully controls the government, then many people who intend to make trouble can only calm down. For these generals, there is no doubt that there is a missing road to success.
Although speaking like this, it seems that those people are selfish and a bit despicable, but the fact is that a considerable part of the interests are consistent with Empress Wu. Even if they have received the favor of the Li family, they will also argue that the queen mother is the Li family. Wife, even if the Empress Dowager is in power for a while, but her biological son is still surnamed Li, even if the surname is changed for a while, she still has to recognize her ancestors and return to her clan in the future. Under such circumstances, many people stand on the side of Empress Wu with peace of mind. , I have to persuade those who stand on the side of Li Tang Zhengtong to be patient for the time being. After all, the Queen Mother is in her early sixties. You can also support a new king, wouldn't everyone be happy when the time comes?
Princess Xincheng didn't think so far for the time being, she just realized the ending of these clans' rebellion, nothing more than failure and being killed. Princess Xincheng originally wanted to encourage Li Yue to raise troops to go north, but after seeing the situation where everyone in Minyue is focused on fighting to get rich , Princess Xincheng swallowed her words again.Minyue really wants to talk about it, they recognize Li Yue, they may not have much recognition for Li Tang, before Li Yue came, the life of Minyue people is not like the life of people now, they Naturally, he couldn't feel any favor from the imperial court, who would think of serving the imperial court.As for Li Yue, he showed early on that he was unwilling to get involved in the government affairs, which made Princess Xincheng inevitably have a suspicion.
"Did you expect this a long time ago?" Princess Xincheng thought of the prophecy back then, and looked at Li Yue inquiringly.
It is said that Taishi ordered Li Chunfeng to make a divination for the fate of the Tang Dynasty, and finally came to the conclusion that "the third generation of the emperor, Li Xing of the Wu Dynasty". At that time, who would have thought that this was actually a literal meaning?Therefore, after Li Shimin interpreted it at that time, after knowing that Li Junxian, the general around him, used to have the nickname "Five Lady", he killed Li Junxian without saying a word.These days, prophecies are still very popular, just like when Yang Guang had a so-called prophecy of "Yang flowers fall, plum flowers bloom, peaches and plums, there is the world", Yang Guang was very murderous because of this After some killings, even Li Hun, the Duke of Ye, was also killed, frightening Li Yuan half to death, pretending to be stupid, and then escaped from Yang Guang's butcher knife.But in the end, it was Li Yuan who won the world, and this prophecy was naturally fulfilled.For this reason, Li Shimin was also very concerned about this kind of thing, but at that time no one thought that this Wu was actually a woman.
And now, this prophecy has started to spread around the world again. It is obvious that Empress Wu is ordering people to create momentum. The news from Minyue has always been well-informed. Princess Xincheng has also heard it, but thinking of what Li Yue has done for so many years, Princess Xincheng inevitably had some guesses. She immediately suspected that Li Yue had a premonition, so she refused to get involved in the change of imperial power.
Seeing Princess Xincheng's expression, Li Yue was dumbfounded. He couldn't say that I was time-traveling. If I had known that Empress Wu would be the queen in the future, it would be no wonder that Princess Xincheng didn't suspect that she was insane!Therefore, Li Yue just said helplessly: "Who would have known that the current situation would turn out like this. At the beginning, I thought Li Hong would be crowned as a certainty!"
Princess Xincheng was dubious, but her heart became more and more anxious.
Li Yue persuaded: "Sister, when the sky falls, there will naturally be a tall person to support it. Don't worry for now, the days to come will be long!"
Princess Xincheng really wanted to get angry, but seeing Li Yue's concerned expression, her anger was extinguished again, so she could only say irritably: "How can I feel at ease now? I'm still tall, and I'm Datang Eldest princess, she is tall no matter what, but who else can help me block it?" Speaking of this, she couldn't help but miss Li Zhi, anyway, Princess Xincheng has been able to live such a nourishing life all these years Naturally, Li Zhi's connivance is indispensable, but thinking about it again, it is Li Zhi's connivance that Empress Wu can have today. Thinking about it this way, Princess Xincheng naturally becomes more and more worried.
Li Yue made sure that Lord Xincheng would not run away suddenly, so she let Princess Xincheng rest at ease, and went back exhausted physically and mentally.
Yang Yao is also baffled by all kinds of things happening in the Central Plains these days. Who would have thought that so many things would happen not long after the late Emperor passed away?Seeing that Empress Wu was about to become a queen, Yang Yao was in a very complicated mood. She could almost predict what might happen to the court and the public after Empress Wu ascended the throne.Among other things, such things as being soft-hearted and soft-hearted have absolutely nothing to do with Empress Wu. In order to consolidate her position, Empress Wu must have caused a lot of blood and blood in the first few years of her reign. In this way, Minyue can definitely be regarded as a paradise.
Yang Yao quickly ignored the chaos in the Central Plains, and suddenly became complacent: "Fifteen Lang, now this is our chance!" This kind of thing, even if no one in the family joins the army, will be greatly affected.Among other things, a considerable part of Datang's military rations are now purchased from Minyue. Now that there is a fight, Minyue naturally cannot sell military rations to those rebels. In order to maintain a certain combat effectiveness, They have to make food among the people.There is a saying that thieves pass like a comb, and soldiers pass like a grate. In many cases, the officers and soldiers are more unscrupulous than the thieves.In addition to requisitioning food, people must also be recruited to build fortifications and transport luggage.After the war, these people might have to be charged with a crime of thieves. After that, they will naturally be deprived of their property, and there will be various punishments.Therefore, in the face of war, what many people can do is actually one word: escape!
Under such circumstances, Minyue can take the opportunity to attract immigrants and increase external development efforts.Thinking about it this way, Yang Yao is actually the same as those generals who are eager to make meritorious service, hoping that the war will last for a while longer!
Li Yue nodded, and don't blame them for fearing that the world will not be chaotic. In fact, they have no other way. It is impossible for them to pull Minyue to join this rank. Minyue is really short of people. It cannot be wasted in this senseless war.As for who is proclaiming the emperor over there, and what does it have to do with them? According to the original agreement, it is only five years since they withdrew from Minyue and officially moved to Ryukyu. After that, what happens in the Central Plains has nothing to do with them Woolen cloth?However, in the future, when the emperor of the Tang Dynasty has no way and the world is in chaos, Li Yue's descendants can use the name of saving Tianqing to continue the Tang Dynasty or establish a new dynasty, there will be no problem!But now, people in the whole world are determined, don't look at those families who are secretly supporting those clans now, but if they really let them start a war of that level like the end of the Sui Dynasty, they are unwilling to do it. After all, everyone is more serious now. Most of the interests are with Anton and Anxi. If the war becomes serious, the imperial court will definitely dispatch Anton and Anxi's army. At that time, how can their interests there be guaranteed?
Therefore, for Minyue, the only thing they can do now is to take this opportunity to absorb more people. As for other things, Minyue can completely stay out of it.
As for Princess Xincheng, she can only be furious in her heart now. She naturally hopes that Datang is still in the hands of Li Zhi's lineage, but if Empress Wu really usurps Datang and kills Li Zhi The family clan, in turn, pushed the Wu family to the top, the princess of Xincheng would rather be the brothers or even uncles from the clan to set things right.
Princess Xincheng wants to weigh the pros and cons, but the current battle situation is actually very unfavorable to those clans. Defeat is a matter of time, and Li Yue made it clear that she doesn't want to get involved. Charisma, but if she really jumped out, Princess Xincheng thought about it for a week, but found that she didn't have any suitable allies at all, so she could only die.
In fact, there are other princesses who have the same thoughts as Princess Xincheng. After all, they are also the blood of the Li family. Although they are married, they are still the clan in terms of etiquette. Even if their children have foreign surnames, they are at least within one or two generations , What mistakes have been made, and it is the clan's laws that can deal with them, not the laws of the country.If Empress Wu became an issue, their position as a princess would be worthless.
Unfortunately, what can these princesses do?They have no soldiers and no power in their hands, so they can't bring a bunch of servants to start a riot!For example, Princess Gaoyang is hesitating now. According to her heart, she naturally wants to defend the Li family's country, but Fang Yiai doesn't really have this idea. She is always a courtier, doing things for the Li family and for the Wu family. In fact, there is not much difference, it just depends on who gives enough benefits!In fact, Fang Yiai actually had some gloating thoughts in his heart. After all, he was indeed sitting on the bench for quite a while back then. His father was so kind to him back then. After his father passed away, Fang's family began to be neglected. It caused the brothers of the Fang family to come up with the idea of "you need to face forward, you don't need to face backward".Of course, at this time, they will not consider how far their own abilities are from their own father.
In addition, what happened to Li Jingye also left Fang Yiai with lingering fears. After all, everyone with a discerning eye knows the contribution Li Ji made to Datang. In the end, when it was Li Jingye's turn, he really didn't receive much attention. One of the reasons for the rebellion was that he felt that he was underappreciated and had little hope.The situation after these meritorious deeds in the Tang Dynasty is actually the same. When they were knighted back then, they all said that the hero and the hero must retire with the country. In fact, starting from the Sui Dynasty, the title is not so valuable, let alone it. Foreign ministers, even if it is the clan, the titles are not many real titles. After the meritorious service, although I will not be a bastard, but these second generations are really few in terms of official career. Many people The pinnacle of the state is the governor of one place, which sounds good, but in fact, the governor has so much real power. After all, in times of peace and prosperity, it is impossible for the governor to truly monopolize the power of a state.After all, Cheng Chuliang did well because he had the opportunity to go to the battlefield with Cheng Zhijie, and he was honored by Princess Shang, and he was able to posthumously become a county king after his death.
Under such circumstances, Fang Yiai really didn't intend to touch stones for the old Li's family, and, with the failure of those clansmen, Fang Yiai couldn't see the hope of victory either.
"Xue Yi was killed!" Princess Gao Yang sat down without manners, with an irritable expression, "That's the eldest son of sister Cheng Yang! Not only that, Xue Xu and Xue Shao were also implicated!"
"Xue Shao is Taiping's son-in-law!" Fang Yiai couldn't sit still immediately, "Does the Queen Mother not consider Taiping's feelings at all?"
Gao Yang snorted softly, and said: "Actually, I heard that the Empress Dowager did not agree to this marriage at the beginning. It was the first emperor who bestowed the marriage on the sake of Sister Chengyang's face! Now the Empress Dowager just seized the opportunity!"
"Then what should we do?" Fang Yiai frowned and said.
Princess Gao Yang bit her lip, almost biting her lower lip to bleed. After thinking about it, she finally became depressed: "What else can we do? Let's just have a child! He is not very promising, I just hope that he can live in peace for the rest of his life!"
Many times, after bowing your head once, it is not so difficult to accept it again.Princess Gao Yang was so proud back then. Even if she was a princess from the first line, she might not have taken it seriously. However, she bowed her head once for the lives of her family. At that time, she could comfort herself by saying that Li Zhi was the emperor after all. Now, for the sake of her son's future, she can only bow her head to Wu Hou!Although she was extremely unwilling in her heart, Princess Gao Yang could only admit it.She is already in her 60s. Because Li Nu was born late and Princess Gao Yang was picky about her marriage, she only got married a few years ago. Now she just had a granddaughter, and her daughter-in-law was pregnant again some time ago. Under such circumstances, how could Princess Gaoyang be willing to die like this with all her family members?
Undoubtedly, Empress Wu succeeded, and she declared her determination with the life of Xue Yi and even the life of her son-in-law.Don't say that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at her, the more pleasing she is, and she dares to stand in front of her, let alone her son-in-law, she doesn't even let her own son go!
Princess Taiping encountered the biggest setback in her life. She was used to going smoothly since she was a child. As the youngest daughter of the family, both Li Zhi and Empress Wu loved her very much. After marriage, Xue Shao had a very deep relationship with her. They had two sons and a daughter in just a few years. As a result, when disaster struck, before Princess Taiping could react, Qianniuwei took Xue Shao away. thrown into prison.
Princess Taiping is still pregnant with her fourth child. She went to look for Empress Wu overnight. As a result, Empress Wu's attitude was very firm. Under house arrest in the inner palace, Empress Wu even threatened Princess Taiping with the lives of several grandchildren. She succumbed. After all, as a mother, even if she cared about her husband, she couldn't ignore her children at all. love brain!
What happened to Princess Taiping also made Li Dan even more terrified. Compared with the love Princess Taiping received, Li Dan's growth process is a small and transparent growth history. Even the jewel in his palm ended up like this, let alone himself?In particular, people from the Wu family have been jumping up and down recently, concocting all kinds of auspicious omens, saying that it is destiny for Empress Wu to ascend to the top.Li Dan didn't feel the greatness of the imperial power at all, and he was facing the threat of his life. Therefore, he could only express his abdication voluntarily in awe. The dangling fear made Li Dan almost sleepless at night.
Empress Wu's repeated actions made everyone aware of her determination and will. Compared with the clan that is still hesitating, many ministers have honestly surrendered. They are all part-time workers. They are still in the original company. It's just a boss, even, this boss was in charge before, it's nothing more than a bad name.There are also many people who are also thinking about whether they can get along with the dragon. Therefore, people's hearts are becoming more and more floating in the court, and those advocating words are also spreading like wildfire among the people.
The people on the Minyue side are not sensitive to the affairs of Chang'an and Luoyang, which is too far away from them. Besides, because of the war, the prices of various commodities have risen a lot, and the businessmen on the Minyue side have more They will make a lot of money, so they are all busy to speed up production now, so as to take advantage of this opportunity to make more money.The government on the Minyue side is also very busy. Many people dragged their families to the Minyue side because they were afraid of war. For example, Jiangnan and Qilu, which were more severely damaged, some people wanted to go directly. Pick up the merchant ships of Minyue.
Minyue’s side also never refuses visitors, so they simply dispatched a special boat to publicize Minyue’s immigration policy at the intersection and the wharf. Various discounts have attracted the hearts of many big households, let alone those who have no property. up.When they actually boarded Minyue's boat, they realized that everything was even better than they had imagined.
They were able to wash their bodies briefly on the boat and put on new clothes. The boat provided sufficient food, so rich in oil and water that some people who hadn't eaten meat for a long time even had a stomachache.After arriving at the place, they observed at the immigration management office for a period of ten days, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with their health. They registered their names and places of origin. If they had studied or had some crafts, they could get further preferential treatment, even if they could only work hard. They can also get land grants after leaving the immigration management office, and then the government can borrow seeds, farm tools, livestock and the like, and they can use grain to pay off the debt during the autumn harvest. According to the previous immigrants, within one or two years, they can not only pay back To pay off the loans owed to the government, you can still have enough reserves.If they are willing to participate in simple military training during the slack season, they can also get an extra subsidy, which also attracts those immigrants who are used to poverty and are frightened of hunger.
In short, the immigration work in Minyue went very smoothly, and after Li Yue communicated with Empress Wu, the captured rebels were also sold to Li Yue at a reasonable price. Population buying and selling.Li Yue doesn't care about this little money, but Empress Wu, she hopes to make some big moves to prove that her destiny belongs to her. Those true and false rumors and concocted auspiciousness are far from enough. Come up with a few wonders.In addition, the imperial court also needs to spend money to suppress the rebellion!These days, I see all the way forward, and the rebellions everywhere are extinguished. In fact, the money is spent every day, even if the foundation left by the previous few years is very solid, it can’t be spent like this!Therefore, if there is extra income, Empress Wu will definitely not let it go!She is not the kind who is ignorant of the sufferings of the world. After so many years of experience, she has told Empress Wu that money is indispensable no matter whether it is running a family or a country!If she had no money, how could she have the money to reward those arrogant soldiers and make them submit to her as a woman?
Therefore, Li Yue and Empress Wu are also happy to cooperate. In order to feed so many immigrants, Minyue's side just stimulates domestic demand and makes the economy more prosperous. Compared with the raging wars outside, Minyue's side seems to be It's like heaven on earth.
Just when Li Yue felt that the situation was going well, Mingzhu came back with someone, and there was another person on board that surprised him.
"Uncle Fifteen, my niece really has no choice but to come and ask Uncle Fifteen to take me in!" Princess Taiping looked haggard, she had really exhausted her courage in her life these days, so much so that she didn't dare to think about it. , After robbing her husband and running away with her children, what will the queen mother look like.
Mingzhu looked carefree: "What are you afraid of, who knew you were here, at worst, you and I will go to Yinyue Island!"
Li Yue could only hear it in a cloud, so he collected himself and said, "What's going on here, please tell me first!"
Mingzhu rolled her eyes, although Li Yue and Yang Yao have always loved her very much, but this time, she really played a big role, so she was really worried that she would be taught a lesson after speaking out. She looked to Princess Taiping for help.
Taiping said almost immediately: "I don't blame Mingzhu, I wrote to her to beg her, she is to help me!"
Li Yue glared at Mingzhu, then looked at Princess Taiping, and said gently: "Don't worry, we're all here with Uncle Fifteen, take your time! You have worked hard this journey, sit down and rest for a while! "Speaking, he ordered people to arrange it.
Their line of business does not look good. Princess Taiping's four children, except for the eldest son and eldest daughter who are already a little sensible, one is still a little doll of one or two years old, and the other is just born not long ago, and is still an only child. The little baby, for the sake of confidentiality and convenience, Princess Taiping didn’t even bring the maid and nanny with her. She fed the youngest child by herself during the journey, because her mental pressure was too great, and her breast milk was not enough, so she had to use The water is mixed with cheese and the like as a supplement.As for Xue Shao, he did not live well in prison. The environment in the prison was harsh, and Empress Wu did not intend to really let him go. Weak, but fortunately he has a firm mind, and has been working hard to restore his original state since he escaped from birth. Although he still looks a little thin now, because of this catastrophe, he looks rather gloomy, but he doesn't look weak powerless.
Seeing Li Yue's gentle attitude, one of Princess Taiping's tight strings relaxed a little. She held a bowl of chicken soup with the slick oil skimmed off, took two sips, and felt the warmth rising from her stomach. Only then did I tell Li Yue the cause and effect.
Princess Taiping was trapped in the Ziwei Palace before, and seeing her resigned to her fate, after all, Empress Wu loved her little daughter, so the guards on her were relaxed a bit. Princess Taiping found out that Xue Shao was only locked up in the In prison, she still had some hope in her heart, but she couldn't count on Empress Wu to release him, just like the princess of Xincheng back then, she was afraid that Empress Wu would directly order her to make peace, so she was naturally unwilling to do so.
In fact, she has been communicating with Mingzhu all these years, using carrier pigeons. Empress Wu does not want to completely cut off Taiping's contact with outsiders. I know that for women, love is not reliable, and what is reliable is real power.Therefore, when Mingzhu's carrier pigeon flew over, Empress Wu gave Mingzhu's letter to Taiping.
Taiping's heart moved, thinking about what she had agreed upon when she communicated with Mingzhu, she used rice soup to write a message for help in the letter, and then sent it out.
Taiping included the secret code agreed with Mingzhu in the letter, and Mingzhu naturally understood what Taiping meant. After reading Taiping's distress message written in rice soup, Mingzhu was impulsive, and she was afraid that after telling Li Yue, Li Yue would not allow her to make trouble. It turned out that he directly took the female soldiers under his hands, disguised as Minyue businessmen, and went northward by boat to Luoyang.
Of course, before departure, Mingzhu also wrote a secret letter to Princess Taiping. After all, unless Mingzhu revealed her identity, she would definitely not be able to enter Ziwei Palace to see Taiping. If she wanted to take Taiping away, what would happen to Taiping? All have to be done outside the palace.Taiping is also a smart person. After she gave birth to her little daughter in the palace, she said she would go back to her princess mansion for confinement. Seeing Princess Taiping's resignation, Empress Wu relaxed her vigilance, so she agreed down.Anyway, the maids around Princess Taiping will not hide it from her, so there is no need to worry about Princess Taiping's radical actions.
Although Mingzhu had never been to Princess Taiping's Princess Mansion, Princess Taiping had mentioned it, so Mingzhu easily sneaked someone into the Princess Mansion and got connected with Taiping. After the two discussed it, A decision is made.
After Princess Taiping gave birth, she said that she would take a few children to a temple outside the city to pray for blessings, and even brought her newborn daughter with her, saying that she asked the eminent monk in the temple to show her face and ask for an amulet , Light an ever-burning lamp for her.Naturally, there was nothing wrong with doing this, even without reporting to Empress Wu, the palace people around her couldn't stop her.
But Mingzhu sent those female soldiers under her command to rob the prison. In order to prevent others from seeing the strangeness, Mingzhu also made a lot of things.She managed to add some ingredients to the canteen on the other side of the prison. It was used by the aboriginals in Yizhou to hunt and kill large wild animals. Although it is not a poison that seals the throat when it sees blood, it has a certain hallucinogenic effect. The effect is definitely worse than Tiannan's poisonous mushrooms. If you don't pay attention to that thing, it will really kill you!Then after the effect of the medicine took effect, they mixed into the prison.The locks in this era are still relatively simple, and the same is true in prisons. The training of these female soldiers back then was based on a part of the special training methods developed by Li Yue. Therefore, each of them is really versatile. The clothes of the prison guards who were similar to Xue Shao were replaced by Xue Shao, and then they brought Xue Shao out. In order to prevent anyone from finding out that something was wrong, after they came out, they also caused some troubles nearby, and found a few local hooligans and others. Some shrews are messing around there, pestering them endlessly.
Since no one found out that Xue Shao was rescued, they naturally got out of the city very smoothly, and joined Princess Taiping and his party outside the city.
It was actually much easier to get Princess Taiping out of the temple. After all, with an identity like Princess Taiping, if she wanted to come to offer incense and pray for blessings, the venue would naturally have to be cleared. Afterwards, they had to be entertained for a vegetarian meal, but the servants ate it. In Su Zhai, Mingzhu poured a handful of sweating medicine directly, and then hid them. Mingzhu's people changed into the clothes of these palace people, and brought Princess Taiping and the others out of the temple blatantly. They all hid under the bed, and the dose of Mongolian sweat medicine was very large. When the monks in the temple found out that something was wrong, they and their party had already boarded the boat!
When Empress Wu heard the news, it was already the next day. At first, she thought it was Princess Taiping who was angry with her, but when she found out that Xue Shao had disappeared, another day passed, and Empress Wu found out the clues. , and also realized that it was probably people from Minyue who helped Taiping, which made Empress Wu a little hesitant. After all, she didn't want to turn against Li Yue, so she had to use the excuse that Princess Taiping was praying in a certain Taoist temple, and announced Xue Shao's death. The news of the death, ordered people to secretly search for the whereabouts of Princess Taiping, she has made up her mind this time, as long as she catches people, she will kill Xue Shao as soon as possible, completely cutting off Princess Taiping's hope!
In any case, the journey was relatively smooth, and there were no major setbacks. The main reason was that Empress Wu was too confident in herself. She never thought that Princess Taiping would have such courage. It was also because Empress Wu was caught off guard, and now Empress Wu's energy is actually still on suppressing the rebellion, so this matter was lightly let go, but after Empress Wu regained her senses, I'm afraid that blame will come.
